Hello All,

I have a blunt question, but before I get to that, let me show you what I AM used to.

I am a designer being thrown into the development circle by default. In terms of developing sites recently, I recieve an approved design, and from that point I cut it up and build it mostly using HTML Tables. Most of my past sites have been "Brochure" type. All I've needed to do up until today, is build it with tables and make internal pages like a brochure. These are the last sites I've done, and what I'm used to.

This time I have a client that approved a design, that I'm not sure how to build it architectually.

Here is a screenshot of the approved design.

This design has 6 quadrants. I can cut it up with frames no problem. But with the way more sites I see these days that are quadrant based, I want to know what is the best way to architectually lay it out.

Should I use PHP and use Require tags? Should I use CSS? Ajax? DHTML? I'm so freaking out here.

HELP PLEASE!!!

6 appears more appropriate with a header and footer.

PHP and CSS yes. Ajax/DHTML after the site is built and functional.

Thanks Fang. I'll give it a whirl.
